Recovery Floppy's for XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Firstly- I have the blue screen error on my computer -
unmountable_boot_volume - My computer won't even come up now - all she gives
me is the blue screen
I downloaded the boot files - on 6 floppy's - what do I do next? How do I
use the floppy's? I'm a novice at computers - I need soooo much help!

Hi,

Have you created the six floppy set by running the setup file? If so, then
inset disk #1 and boot the system with it. It should prompt for the rest of
the disks. Then, from the command prompt run 'chkdsk c: /r'. When prompted
for autochk.exe, indicate %windir%\system32
